Therefore, if coed dorms became a reality, social rooms and off-campus living would probably be eliminated in order to fill the residence halls to their capacity.

"Security is a major concern," Gatti stated. In a co-ed facility it is difficult to determine who does and does not belong in a particular area. Because of this, it is not yet clear how security for the residents would be provided. Gatti emphasized, however, that at this time these plans are just tentati 'e

OC nurses accredited

By Kim Whitmore

The Otterbein nursing program in its first attempt was accredited for eight years by the National League of Nursing (N.l.N.).

The program was fortunate in getting the eight year no-stringsattached accreditation, for they could have had to write yearly reports or have received only a one year accreditation with many stipulations.

Dr. Judy Strayer, nursing department chairperson, said "I was happy to get accredited considering Otterbein's small size. The young history of the bachelor of science in nursing(B.S.N.) program and the innovativeness of our program compared to most others."

"Some of the photographs are weaker than others, just like some written papers are weaker, not everyone gets an A, so I try to balance the shows by putting some of these with the stronger ones," Stichweh said.

The pictures show good technical qualities. They are clean and distinct with good contrast.

Here is what we found:

Abandoned dorm may go co-ed

The Tan & Cardinal is relieved to hear of the proposed renovation of King Hall. To let this wonderful old building die of neglect would be tragic.

Although we realize the project is only in the idea stage, and has yet to be formally proposed, the Tan & Cardinal would like to question some of the thinking behind the plan.

By far, the most important aspect of the plan is the reorganization of the hall into suites of two bedrooms and a living room, following the example of a similar renovation at Ashland College

According to Mary Pembroke, director of residence life, suites present a more natural situation for co-ed dorms. In fact, suites can be seen as an extension of the existing social room patterns.

The problem with the suites is that making the extra doorways to and from the bedrooms and the living rooms will add around $40,000 to the renovation, according to Bob Gatti, dean for student development. With the school's budget as tight as it is, tacking an added expense to the King Hall renovation could cause some difficulty getting the project approved, and, therefore, ruin plans to go co-ed.

The King Hall option need not be Otterbein's only shot at going co-ed. Pembroke said she has done preliminary investigation into turning existing buildings, as they are, into co-ed dorms-an idea which makes sense, as both Mane Hall and Hanby Hall already have two bathrooms on nearly every floor-but stressed such work is quite tentative.

The Tan & Cardinal supports the idea of a rejuvenated King Hall, but we urge the administration to carefully consider other, cheaper methods of experimenting with co-ed residence halls.

Measles immunizations sought by Health Center

By Jerry Mark s

Accordin g to th e "Morbidity and Mortality W ee kl y Report ," dated November 28, 1983, one-fourth of all reported ca ses of m easles last year occurred on college campuses.

Measles and rubella , also referred to as German measles, are labelled by the Ohio Department of Health as "the most serious of common childhood diseases." La s t spring , following Miami Universit y 's spring break, a major breakout of measles occurred on the Oxford , Ohio campus. Besides Ohio schools , Indiana reported an outbreak of measles at Indiana, Purdue and Notre Dame universities.

To combat the measles outbreak, one which the Ohio Department of Health fears will occur again this spring, the Grant Otterbein Urgent Care Health Center is asking all fulltime students to fill out medical certification records on immunization shots for measles and rubella. Ann Pryfogle , head nurse at the health care center, said many students have been immunized against rubella, the illness referred to as "the young people's disease " Pryfogle said that students immunized before 1968 may need to be re-immunized,

as a better and stronger vaccination has been found.

lf a student has not received an immunization , the health care is urging them to do so. Immunization for rubella will help prevent the virus, which may cause runny nose and eyes, sensitivity to light, severe cough, a rash that could spread to all parts of the body, and possibly loss of hearing.

Pryfogle, a head nurse for 10 years , said the only preventions against measles are immunization shots; adequate intake of fluids; good diet; and adequate sleep. Pryfogle said that the amount of sleep one receives is an individual decision, but between six and eight hours are recommended.

This year marks the 14th year that the Urgent Care Center has been located on the Otterbein campus, though the college has provided health services since the fall of 1928.

Though the clinic provides health services for the Westerville area, Pryfogle said Otterbein students make up 40 percent of the patient load. Pryfogle said the majority of the students require health care during the warmer months of the year, as more outdoor activities are available. During the colder months, Pryfogle said, many students request treatment for flu and colds. Many students require treat -

ment for health problems toward the end of school terms. At the end of the term a lot of students are burnt-out because of lack of sleep , said Pryfogle.

In the past 15 months over 2600 students have gone to the health center. The leading cause for health center visits have been due to viral and bacterial illnesses. Upper respiratory problems, such as colds and sore throats, and intestinal problems, are the two major causes for medical care.

Pryfogle said that while the student is attending Otterbein, the health care center is their primary health service, as students live on campus for nine months out of the year.

The physical size of the health care center consists of 25-30 employees and contingent workers. During the time the health center is open, 8 a. m. -11 p.m. daily, there are two nurses on duty at all times. Also working at all times is a receptionist, and a technician worker who is in charge of lab and x-ray work.

Pryfogle urges students to stay in touch with the health center if they have received treatment. "If you've been in, and the little white pill has not worked, call us back to tell us it didn't work. Sometimes we need to re-evaluate cases."

financial Aid plans changes in aid packages

By Rose Shiplett

While making several staffing adjustments in the past month , the financial aid department has also been overhauling its approach to figuring financial aid for upperclassmen as well as entering freshmen.

In an effort to recruit new students and retain existing ones, the financial aid office is changing its financial aid procedures For upperclassmen next year, the changes may be very slight for the "good packages," according to LeAnn Conard , director of financial aid. Next year's freshmen, however , will fall under a totally different approach to financial aid.

For upperclassmen and freshmen alike, the new procedures are an attempt to eliminate the vast differences in financial aid packages, said Conard. The financial aid department will try next year to meet more of the financial needs of upperclassmen who fall into a high-need category, Conard added. Under the proposed changes for upperclassmen, the student who has a high financial need and receives a relatively low financial aid package with many loans will possibly receive more aid from the College

As of yet, no method of figuring the financial aid packages for these upperclassmen has been firmly established.

"There will be very little change in currently enrolled students' aidmost changes will occur for students (upperclassmen) who have relatively

low financial aid packages ," said William Stahler, dean of admissions and financial aid.

The new system for next year's freshmen, unlike the current system, will consider the student's financial need as primary, whereas before the student's academic standing was primary, Stahler said

The new method will allow financial aid to be figured more quickly and easily. "The (old) standards were very cumbersome," Stahler added.

"For financial aid to produce a package, they had to know the academic information about a student." The new method will also benefit admissions counselors in quoting a prospective student his / her financial aid package.

The new method will also eliminate fluctuations in a student's aid if his / her academic standing changes. The financial aid packages are going to stay the same unless the student's need changes, Stahler said If a student's need changes, then the financial aid package would be adjusted accordingly.

Stahler stressed that the changes in financial aid for next year's freshmen will not alter the percentage of dollars distributed between incoming freshmen and upperclassmen. In the past, one-third of financial aid monies has been awarded to incoming freshmen and the remaining two-thirds to upperclassmen.

Although Stahler admitted more funds are needed for this undertaking,

Help a friend get through the day without a cigarette They might just quit

forever. And that's important Because good friends are hard to find. f And even tougher to lose.

he did not speculate on the amount of money necessary.

The distribution of funds will remain the same , but the additional dollars have not been appropriated yet. The Board of Trustees has already approved the freshmen financial aid procedures The executive committee of the trustees, scheduled to meet in late January, will decide if more funds are to be allocated from the College for upperclassmen financial aid.

Hall director selections begin

By Lisa Pettit

The selection process to fill the position for next year's resident hall directors has begun.

According to Mary Pembroke, director of residence life, they are considering hiring two senior students, one graduated student and one student enrolled in a graduate program.

Pembroke said that in terms of the students "we are looking for someone who has had experience as a resident assistant who has the requirement of senior status."

The applications for resident hall director are available in the resident life office and are due Feb. I, 1984. Applications are also being sent to area colleges asking for any interested graduating senior.

Once all of the applications are returned, the applicants go through a series · of interviews. "We determine the qualifications, review the candidates and make our top choices," Pembroke said.

By April 2 the new resident hall directors will be selected. Pembroke added, "We hope to have them selected so they can be involved in the final selection of the resident assistants "

Otterbein attends festival

By Jennifer Slager

While many Otterbein students were becoming familiar with their new winter schedule, several theatre students visited Kalamazoo, Mich. to attend the American College Theatre Festival.

According to Charles Dodrill, director of theatre at Otterbein, 27 students and three faculty members attended the festival on Wednesday, Jan. 4 through Sunday, Jan. 8 The festival, which has been held for the past 16 years, presented six plays which were selected from 47 entries from Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio.

"Deathtrap" by Ira Levin was one of 9 plays in Ohio selected from the Otterbein Theatre Department to participate in the festival. However it was not chosen as one of the six plays to compete at the ACTF

A national festival will be held in the spring of 1984 in the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington D.C. for the six winning productions chosen in each regional festival. More than 400 productions and I0,000 students are involved throughout the United States and the country with the ACTF. Students compete for awards, scholarships and special grants for actors, playwrites, designers, and critics

Two seniors, Brent Erdy and Giovanni Moscardino competed for the Irene Ryan award, among 58 other participants. They each presented a six minute audition, one by themselves and another with a partner. Erdy's partner was senior Susan Diol and Moscardino's partner was sophomore Jodi Silk, both Otterbein students.

Dodrill described the festival as an "enormously sound and educational experience," and noted that the ACTF is "valuable for students to get a chance to see other productions, attend workshops, and meet people."

After returning from the festival, senior Don Ervin expressed that the ACTF was very worthwhile. He felt that it was one of the better festivals that he has attended, stating that the quality of the plays were better than in the past. Ervin recommended students to attend the festivals because he believes they provide a good opportunity to compare Otterbein's Theatre department to other colleges and universities.

Joanna Fabian, a sophomore theatre major said the festival was worthwhile in that the productions presented were not commercialized like "Fiddler on the Roof' or "Oklahoma." "You get a chance to see theatre that isn't always presented," she added.

Johnson premiers ·'84 recitals

The winter music season will open Friday night with a vocal recital by Otterbein faculty member Craig Johnson. Johnson, who is the director of choral and vocal activities at Otterbein, will present the concert at 8:15 in the Riley auditorium of the Batte/le Fine Arts Center.

Johnson says that the highlight of this particular recital is that it is "representative of every kind of 'serious' musical literature." Featured in the concert will be works from the world of opera as well as musical theater, art songs, and oratorios. Johnson will include selections from "La Traviata", "The Creation", and "Man of La Mancha".

Another major part of the evening's entertainment will be Civil War portraits in prose and music. The prose idea was first initiated by 19th century poet Walt Whitman. Johnson's wife, Catherine, will be reading the prose selections. Dr. Michael Haberkorn will be the accompianist.

The performance had a trial run in Illinois over the holidays as part of an informal chamber music recital in a private home. Friday's performance will be simulcast on WOBN.

Johnson earned his bachelors and masters degrees from Northwestern and is currently working on his doctorate at the University of Cincinnati. Along with performing, he also directs the concert choir and Opus Zero.

PCA's can help with decisions

By Jenni Linker

The Otterbein Career Center offers a variety of services to students, one of which is the Peer Career Advisor (PCA) program

The PCA program was developed in an effort to "increase the outreach of the Career Center to Otterbein students." according to Meg Million. administrative assistant.

"The PCAs definitely earn the class credit they receive," said Million.

The PCA's perform a variety of responsibilities, including contacting students, to discuss c:1reer concerns, helping students with questions about resumes, and simply informing students about the services the career center offers. "They spend fall term in extensive training !earning about writing resumes, career concepts, interviewing techniques, and the services the career center has to offer," said Million.

In addition to what the PCA's learn about helping other students with their career decisions, the PCA's "have a first hand chance to work on their own careers," said Million. "It is an excellent opportunity for them to develop other useful skills, such as pro-

gramming techniques and organizational skills."

The PCA's meet weekly, and in addition to their work with students, plan events, such as the upcoming Career Discovery Week. "This is one way to contact most all the students through a more formal event," said Jessie Leek, career counselor and former PCA. Leek is coordinating this year's Career Discovery Week.

The PCA's are selected in the spring, after completing applications and personal and group interviews. They are chosen for their enthusiasm,

communication skills, and leadership qualities.

This year's PCA's are Sonya Spangler, Wendy Jacoby, Joel Riley, Dave McIntyre, Lori Ashcraft, Jill Sommer, and Mike Hall.

"I think the PCA's are one of the biggest assets that our office has," said Marlene Steiner Suter. "We benefit a lot by having them, they are very helpful to other students, and they gain a great deal through their own experiences Actually it's a situation where everybody wins."

IFC and Pan Hel to collaborate

By Kim Walker

Despite some misunderstanding, fraternities and sororities will share organized pledging activities for the first time this year.

The final week of pledging, commonly known as Inspiration Week, usually falls at different times for fraternities and sororities. Accordingly, the Greeks have decided to take advantage and coordinate some of their pledging activities. The fraternity pledges will be joining the sorority pledges in their traditional pledge volleyball and pledge olympics.

Sharing the final week is no coincidence. It is the result of a proposal made last May to the Council of Presidents by lnterfraternity Council (IFC) President Steve Rush. The proposal suggested that sororities shorten their pledging periods from seven weeks to five weeks to allow all Greeks to go active at the same time. The understanding at that time was that there would be planned activities between the pledges.

Unfortunately there was some miscommunication in the individual groups, particularly in the fraternities.

According to Bob Gatti, fraternity presidents apparently failed to inform the pledgemasters of the additional activities. "When I met with the individual pledgemasters they seemed completely unaware of the changes," he said. As a result, the pledgemasters had to adjust their plans.

Because of misconceptions and needed adjustments, pledging activities were the main topic discussion at last Wednesday's IFC meeting.

Opposition to this proposal was expected at the meeting but never occurred since the fraternities that shared activities would be beneficial to the pledges. Sphinx Co-rush Chairman Ron Jones expressed the only real concern: trying to maintain tradition, add activities, and still allow the pledges adequate study time.

In order to fit everything in, the IFC agreed to participate in volleyball and the olympics, but vetoed the invitation to join in the traditional Monday night skits. They felt that the extra preparation time needed was too much for this experimental pledge period.

IFC and Panhel members Mark Puskarich and Kim Whitmore respectively, are in charge of coordinating the volleyball and olympics into both IFC and Panhel schedules. In general,

Cole again led the Cardinals in scoring with 31 points. This was a special game for Cole. A free throw with :58 remaining put her over the 1,000 point mark for her career. This accomplishment is especially impressive, since she reached the mark in three seasons. Cole's achievements were not overlooked however. For her efforts against Mt. St. Joe and Mount Union, she was named Ohio Intercollegiate Basketball Coaches Association player of the week for NCAA Division Ill.

THERE'S NO SUBSTITUTE FOR LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE!

You came to college to become a leader, right? But what kind of management experience will you have when you begin your career? Army Second Lieutenants fresh out of college manage 30 to 50 individuals and sophisticated, expensive equipment. They make important decisions daily. That's a lot of responsibility for a recent college graduate and the kind of leadership experience employers value.

Simply add Military Science to your class schedule and you'll discover the best management training program on campus. You'll incur no military obligation the first two years. If you decide to become an Army officer, we'll pay you $100 per month the last two years of the program, and you might pick up one of our full-tuition scholarships. Most important, you'll gain the leadership experience and self-confidence that comes with Army ROTC leadership training.

Hollern, the other tri-captain, will also assist in the sprint events. Hollern joined Robinson on the 880-relay team that placed second in the conference championships in '83. Hollern also is a member of the Otterbein record holding relay medley team.

Other bright spots include Jim Smith, who took first place in the OAC pole vault competition, and Eric Anderson, who took third place in last year's shot put event.

Distance runners from this year's team, who look promising include: Scott Alpeter, Todd Corwin, Kevin Chambers, and Steve Rush. Sophomore standouts for this year's squad include Pat Bennett and Dave Mont -

Once again the Cardinals are looked upon as a forerunner for the OAC Championship, along with Mount Union and Baldwin Wallace. Coach Miller, his assistants, and the team hope to produce another winning season and possibly an OAC Championship. With the talent that is present on this year's team that goal may be attained.
